It’s Day 30 of 30 Days of Networking and I’m going to keep today’s post short and sweet. Say thanks. Easy enough? Maybe – but I don’t feel we say thank you enough (or, at least I don’t say it as often as I think it and sometimes just don’t get around to it). I haven’t met a person yet who doesn’t like to be thanked, acknowledged and recognised. So, Who in your network do you want to thank?
- The person who sent you a referral?
- Your newest customer?
- The last three people who followed you on Twitter?
- The person who made a comment on your blog post?
- The host who held the event you last attended?
- The person who just served you a great coffee?
- The person you sat next to at a lecture who you shared insights with?
Just say thanks, and let’s make a habit of it. (I’m a big buyer of notecards and I must confess I have way to many in my cupboard that would be better inscribed and in the hands of people to whom I owe gratitude. So, that’ll be a job for this weekend!) TODAY’S TASK Thank someone. Publicly. Tweet it! and let us know how much you appreciate the person and why. I’d like to thank you for taking part in 30 Days of Networking. I hope that you got value from the daily lessons and have been able to make at least one new connection through the process. I hope you’ve also learned a little more about how to use Twitter to network. I’d love to hear about your experiences and networking successes over the last month and look forward to staying in touch through the Australian Businesswomen’s Network programs. If you haven’t yet signed up for the Networking with Men webinar next week, I hope you’ll join me. ABN members – login for free access.
